@tariqblue125 - Is there a sparsechunk.8 or sparsechunk.9 in your firmware folder? Make sure you are flashing all of the sparsechunks.

i reflashed it it works thanks

Hello, right now I am running CM13 XT1540 rooted and unlocked.
I would like to go back to stock moto marshmallow (Retail US (2GB)). However I still want to stay root and unlocked.

Can I just flash the stock image since I just want to use the moto x firmware and keep root and unlocked?

You will always be unlocked but you will have to root again if you flash a new image.

@lost101 Hi! I have a XT1542 with 1GB RAM and 16GB of storage. Are the XT1542 firmwares posted fully compatible with this variant? Or are they just for 8GB storage model?

Thanks in advance.

I found the answer from a success flashing from an user in the firmware thread here, so I will try.

1dtms · Apr 24, 2016

Is coming from CM13 6.0.1 to XT1540_OSPREY_RETUS_2GB_6.0_MPI24.65-25.1_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip considered a downgrade (so pretty much from 6.0.1 to 6.0.0)?
and is there any way I can just flash to stock img but keep root?
I understand that I lose root if I follow the guide exactly, but can I skip anything to avoid losing my current root (I guess I am imagining if I can just flash a zip file like switching between different ROM just requires only flashing a zip)?

right now im unlocked bootloader and rooted running CM13 (the old unofficial version)

You cannot change between any ROM or firmware and keep root. I don't consider dirty flashing different ROMs a healthy activity. Follow instructions in OP and then do some research into which version of SuperSU will work, as some do not.

hmm okay so I tried following everything on the original post and it seems I am now stuck on bootloader unlocked screen.
Below is my command flash log

history of my device:
-XT1540 (2GB)
-was on CM13 6.0.1 (before it became official)
-had custom recovery (TWRP) and root
-rebooted in TWRP and made a backup of device and stored it on an external SD card
-reboot phone back to normal (still in CM) and went to settings to erase data & reset
-when that was done, turned the phone off
-turned it back on by pressing down volume button and now in Fastboot mode (i didnt enter any menu when the phone turned via volume down button during power on)
-followed everything else on the OP using this extracted zip file "OSPREY_RETUS_2GB_6.0_MPI24.65-25.1_cid9"

Can I just try everything on the original post again safely (except this time I can't start by factory reset again since I can't get boot normally)?
Was I suppose to be flashing in Recovery menu you think? or did I do it right by start flashing on the 1st main screen that comes up after pressing the power button + volume down?

You are flashing on the correct screen. That's the fastboot screen, the only place that accepts fastboot commands. A factory reset in CM13 is not good enough. You must do a factory reset in Stock Recovery. See OP again.

lost101 · Feb 18, 2017

Factory data reset via Stock Recovery:

(1) Flash via fastboot stock recovery.img (found in firmware image zip)
(2) Turn your phone off.
(3) Press and hold Volume DOWN + POWER.
(4) In recovery menu press Volume down twice.
(5) Press power. You will see a red exclamation mark.
(6) Hold power down, then tap Volume UP.
(7) Go to Wipe data / Factory reset and press power button.
(8) Scroll to Yes - delete all user data and press power.

Guys, I've got a little question / trouble after flashing 6.0.1.

Everything works fine, battery life is approximately 2h SOT higher, which is awesome.

I'm facing problem with network connection. While in 3G my phone stays on UMTS or HSPA, it just won't establish HSPA+ connection (tested with 2 SIM cards from different operators). So I'm wondering have I maybe flashed something wrong, or someone else is also facing this problem?

Edit: I've got XT 1541 and I've flashed EU rom, so the one I've got with the device.

lost101 said:
Obviously something has gone wrong with the flashing process. If firmware image is flashed correctly, your phone should work as if you just bought it. It would help to see a log of the flashing process. Copy and paste command prompt screen. Take screenshots if necessary. Please continue the conversation here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750

I've tried to flash the image once again, and im still facing the same thing. Everything went okay. But I just now tested my internet speed, and it works okay. It actualy does connect to HSPA+ network, but it shows UMTS or HSPA.

Here is a pic from T-Mobile which has UMTS base network (when phone is in idle, and doesnt use internt), and another pic from Vipnet which has HSPA base network (in idle, and the changes to HSPA+ once internet is in use)

So everything is okay, except false info about network under the setting. Thank for your help @lost101

lost101 · Apr 26, 2016 at 1:26 PM

@exohas - Are you doing a factory reset via Stock Recovery prior to flashing the firmware image, and fastboot erase userdata afterwards?

exohas · Apr 26, 2016

Yeah, prior to flashing I've erased it within stock recovery, and I've run the command inside cmd (admin). I've double checked every command and flashed all 0-7 chunk files.

Now that I've tested it, and it actually is connected to HSPA+ I don't mind it that much. At the end its just an icon next to the signal, and a text in "about phone". I've seen another user with same problem as me in other thread, so it could be rom bug as well. Except that, everything else works well. I've got ghost touches here and there, but it's not that big of a deal.

Will try to reflash newer rom when it comes available, because I don't have that much time to do the procedure once again.
Thanks once again for trying to help out!

lost101 · Apr 26, 2016 at 3:06 PM

@exohas - With the Moto G (1st Gen) - US Firmware would not display H/H+, only 3G iirc. Sometimes there are regional quirks with Motorola Firmware. It may also be a design choice, or ultimately an issue they have missed.

exohas · Feb 23, 2012 7 0 0

Yep, I remember when i had my Moto G 1st gen with KitKat. We had H+ next to signal bar, and with Lollipop it changed to only H. It bothered me, but just a few days.

Now on Moto G3 ive only seen just 3G next to icon on T-Mobile and it says UMTS under network details, when in reality it actualy is HSPA+. I was panicking that I've done something wrong while flashing, but after I've tested the speeds and they were okay, I was releaved that it's just a bug that shows incorrect icon and network info under settings. I'll get used to it

I think it would be good if OP was updated. Because now we have 5.1 , 6.0 and 6.0.1 and each has some slight differences in the commands required.
I would propose we have specific guide for each of these three versions(5.1, 6.0 and 6.0.1).
What do you think @lost101 ?

Maybe for the 3 people out of a 100 that bother to even read the OP before they jump right in to flashing.
